Thousands lined the shore and crammed the bleachers at Collingwood’s Millennium Park to watch the best wakeboarders and wakeskaters throw down during the Wakestock 2010 WWA World Series pro contest, presented by Monster Energy. On the shore, pro skateboarders and bikini-clad models entertained the crowds as Public Enemy and Alexisonfire took to the stage.

The 2011 Malibu Wakesetter made it's world debut as the towboat for the Malibu Boats Pro Wakeskate Championship, where defending five-time Wakestock champion, Brian Grubb, posted the highest score of the day. Stuart Shinn and Grant Roberts, as well as Canadians James Balzer, Yan Lecomte and Dan Brown, all advanced to the semi-finals.

Defending champion Aaron Rathy also advanced to the next round despite battling a season-long knee injury. Three-time Wakestock champ Phil Soven was last off the dock and posted the highest score of the day. Other heat winners included Shane Bonifay, Bob Soven and Trevor Hansen.

While the wake pros ran through their qualification heats in perfect calm water conditions in front of huge shoreline crowds, the Monster Energy music stage heated up with incredible performances from Maestro Fresh-Wes and Crash Kings. Then, following a packed pro skate demo at the Wakestock skatepark by Paul Machnau, Grant Patterson, Paul Trep and the rest of the new Red Star skate team, Alexisonfire took the stage in front of the biggest crowds of the afternoon to deliver an insane live performance.

Introduced by Maestro Fresh-Wes, hip-hop legends Public Enemy shut the day down with an energetic performance as the sun set. Chuck D and Flavor Flav ran the stage, delivering classic anthems from the Long Island crew's highly regarded Fear of a Black Planet and It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back albums. At one point Flav even cranked out a drum solo. After wrapping up their hour-plus set with the rousing "Fight the Power," Chuck left the stage proclaiming, "Long live Wakestock!"
